We're not sure what kind of person tries to spray paint a four hundred dollar vase, but it makes sense that it's the same kind of person who demands that the store she bought it from pay for her mistake.

Revenge is a drink best served as (sinfully) sweet tea. If you're going to steal your coworker's tea or food from the break room, you'd best be ready for karma and/or revenge to come back around to collect. In this case, the strategic revenge is oh so satisfying. A job well done!
